[QUOTE="Kngkong, post: 180049, member: 1336"] I had a 4c buck last year and did well. It was also my first time hunting out west so I'll just say a few things I picked up. Spend some time scouting, and I mean several trips. You don't want to spend your hunting time looking for places to start. If you don't see any big bucks scouting don't be discouraged, they move around and I found bigger bucks hunting than I did scouting. I hunted the first week last year and the rut was just starting. I shot my buck with 6 does but lots of does and bucks were running alone. Hunting pressure wasn't that bad. there aren't that many tags handed out but the weather was nice last year and I did talk to several people bow hunting. Good binoculars and a spotting scope are a must. You don't want to spend hours trying to get in range to find out the buck isn't the one you want. Don't depend on your phone. In 4c Verizon reception was not the best, see how it is while you scout. I camped behind the Trappers Inn in Belfield but from what I noticed there was room at most other campgrounds in the area. Enjoy the scenery, there is some amazing country off the beaten path. Good luck [/QUOTE]
